COOKTOPS
The radiant coil cooktop has tubular heating
elements. The elements are designed to lift and
rotate allowing easy access to the element bowls
for cleaning. Replacement bowl inserts are
available from the dealer where you purchased
your range.
As the control knob is turned from Lo to Hi, the
heat output is increased. Turn the control knob to
Hi to begin cooking, adjusting as necessary.
The elements are controlled by variable energy
regulators giving infinite temperature control. At
the low setting, delicate warming, melting
chocolate or keeping milk warm at very low
temperatures is able to be carried out. The high
setting is ideal for boiling, simmering or frying.
Once your pan is hot, reduce the temperature to
maintain a steady heat to cook your food through.
Cooking efficiency will vary due to the different
types of cooking utensils used, like heavy based
saucepans. Cooking results are influenced by pot
quality and size. It is essential that pot size
matches the diameter of the cooking zone. Low
heat or slow cooking is often due to incorrect pot
size usage.
To get the best out of your cooktop follow these
simple suggestions. Preheat the cookware on the
cooktop before adding food.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or
enamelled cast iron will give you the best results.
When food comes to the boil reduce the
temperature setting. Never use plastic or
aluminium dishes on the cooktop.
It is important that the pans are the same size or
slightly larger than the element. A pan with a
flat base will make better contact with the
element resulting in shorter cooking times.
Aluminium and copper cookware can cause a
metallic residue to remain on the cooktop. If left
this becomes difficult to remove. Jagged edges
on saucepans or heavy frypans may scratch the
element.
Round based woks should NOT be used on radiant
elements, as they will damage the element
bowls.
